The Black Spear Uncrowned (The Horn and Flame Saga Book 2)
About
Book 2 of The Horn and Flame Saga
A princess claimed her dragon-rider before gods, crown, and kingdom.
Now the realm must answer for it.
After surviving the Trial of Flame, Caelan Ardent should have been a dead man. Instead, he has become a song sung in taverns, a hero of the common folk, and the man Princess Aeloria Valdren chose in front of the entire court.
But songs do not change bloodlines.
Love does not silence kings.
And the crown still has its claws in her.
As unrest spreads through Valdren, Aeloria’s wild magic grows stronger, stranger, and harder to hide. It answers her emotions with terrifying force — love makes the air shimmer, anger cracks like violet lightning, and grief threatens to tear the world apart.
When ancient seals begin to weaken and old powers buried in root, mirror, blood, and stone start to wake, Aeloria and Caelan are forced into a war far older than any throne. The elves fracture. Sacred groves rot from beneath. The Vanguard must choose between loyalty to the crown and loyalty to the woman who has bled beside them.
Worse still, Corvin’s jealousy turns openly dangerous. Alaandra’s schemes tighten around the palace. Soren of Marovar watches from the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to claim what he believes should have been his.
As enemies circle and Valdren begins to break, Aeloria discovers she carries not only a kingdom’s hope, but a fragile future of her own.
Yet in a world built on bargains, curses, old blood and broken crowns, hope may be the cruellest weapon of all.
Aeloria must decide what she is willing to become:
Heir. Rebel. Weapon. Wife.
Or the uncrowned queen the world has been waiting to fear.
The Black Spear Uncrowned is a dark romantasy epic filled with dragons, brutal politics, dangerous magic, found family, battlefield loyalty, betrayal, and a love powerful enough to shake kingdoms.
